Maurice,
I am glad to hear that. At least in this respect this restores a tiny bit
faith into believing that somebody at Autodesk is actually listening to us
and is interested in our points of view.
Although I am pretty sure that the main reason for this adjustment is
probably not empathy but the realisation that a significant amount of
relevant customers would have gone off subscription otherwise...
But either way - thanks for this adjustment.
-M
